Giuseppe "Billy" Reina (born 15 April 1972) is a German former professional footballer who played as a striker.[1] He spent nine seasons in the Bundesliga with Arminia Bielefeld, Borussia Dortmund and Hertha BSC.[2]
Career
Reina was born in Unna. He is of Italian descent.[3]
For the 2005–06 season, he joined Sportfreunde Siegen who played in the 2. Bundesliga at the time.[4]
Arminia Bielefeld contract
Whilst signing for Arminia Bielefeld, Reina had an unusual stipulation inserted into his contract stating that the club must build a new house for him for every year that he spent with them. Because the type or size of the houses were not specified, the club made three Lego houses for Reina, leading to a legal disagreement that was settled out of court.[5][6]
